Mercury S1 60 NR — Silence, Without Subtraction

​

The Mercury S1 60 NR was created for players who love the honesty of a single-coil, but want it without distraction.
It shares the same focused voice as the Mercury S1 60—balanced, direct, and musically complete—while quietly removing what doesn’t belong.

​

No hum.
No compromise.

​

The Same Voice, Made Quieter

​

Beneath the surface, the S1 60 NR carries an additional coil, carefully integrated to cancel the familiar 60-cycle noise of traditional single-coils.
What matters is not the method, but the result:

The tone remains intact.

Thanks to our FSSW winding approach, the pickup is shaped as a single, unified voice.
There’s no hollowed midrange, no missing register—none of the telltale signs often associated with stacked designs.

​

What you hear is the same S1 60 character you expect.
Just quieter.

​

Clean Tone, Undisturbed

​

Through a clean amp, the S1 60 NR stays open and responsive.
Soft playing remains clear and articulate.
Stronger attack brings weight and presence, without introducing noise into the space between notes.

Chords ring naturally.
Silence stays silent.

It’s a balance that feels effortless, because it doesn’t call attention to itself.

​

Balanced by Design

High end remains smooth and composed, free from brittleness.

Midrange stays centered and musical, holding the sound together.

Low end is tight and supportive, grounding the tone with confidence.

Nothing is exaggerated.
Nothing is missing.

​

For Players Who Want Focus, Not Fixes

The Mercury S1 60 NR is for musicians who want their tone ready the moment they plug in.
A single-coil voice that feels complete, controlled, and dependable—without the background noise that pulls you out of the moment.

​

Mercury S1 60 NR — The same voice. Just the silence removed.
